Florida drenched by Invest 93L

The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.
Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Invest 93L off Florida. Chances for development stand at 40% over the next 48 hours.
Invest 93-L is looking better organized Tuesday morning and will move over Central Florida throughout the day. This will bring multiple rounds of rain and storms with up to 3 inches of rain possible in some areas. The main concern is flooding along with lightning.
The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.
